Excerpt from English Local Government The advantages of this division of the labour of public administration between central and local authorities are obvious. The tasks undertaken by the modern state are so great and various that the attempt to accomplish them all by means of cen tral departments and professional officials alone is doomed inevitably to failure; all experience shows that sooner or later a breakdown is certain. Moro Over, SO long as a uniform minimum of efficiency is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Local Government in England, Vol. 1 of 2 This book is the result of studies, prosecuted for many years, concerning the development of the domestic politics of England during the nineteenth century. What remains to be said of the origin and plan of the book, besides the explanations given in the introductory chapter, is mainly of a personal character. When I came the first time to the shores of England, more than ten years ago, it was as a student of English Law and Constitution entirely imbued with the ideas and judgments which the great German jurist and scholar, Rudolf von Gneist, had expressed in the many legal and political writings of his long career. But soon I discovered that those writings were not only in many ways obsolete, having been long passed by current practice and by modern legislative reforms, but also that the general idea of the modern political history of England, as given by Gneist, stood in inexplicable contradiction to the real development and the true nature of political facts. These first impressions have been strengthened by incessant study in England itself, until out of my doubts of the theories and judgments of Gneist there has resulted a view of modern English politics, independent of, and in essence opposed to, those views of Gneist which have so constantly been accepted as authoritative by continental learning. Here I have not to explain or justify a view which must rather be justified by the book itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Local Government of the United Kingdom I AM glad to hear that Mr. Clarke is materially enlarging the Scope of his excellent work Outlines of Local Govern ment, so extremely useful to those engaged in the Local Government Service. With an intimate knowledge of the importance of Local Government work, gained from Close upon forty years' experience, I do not hesitate to say that efficient Local Government Administration is of the highest importance to the well-being of our Empire and that efficiency is largely to be obtained by those engaged in it making themselves thoroughly acquainted with the law which appertains to it. Obviously, it must be to the advantage of students to have ready at hand a work, or text-book, upon which reliance can be placed to enable them to gain with ease the knowledge of which it is so absolutely necessary that they should become possessed, in order to qualify themselves for positions in the Local Government Service, whether connected with a Government Department, or with the Municipalities of the United Kingdom.

Excerpt from Local Government Since the first edition of this book appeared in 1899, several important statutes have been passed which affect Local Government in England and Wales. Chief among these are the London Government Act, 1899, and the Education Act of 1902. It was therefore necessary, in preparing the present edition, to entirely rewrite the chapter on the Education Authority, and to make considerable additions, especially to the chapter on the Metropolis. The rest of the book has been thoroughly revised and brought up to date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Local Government and Taxation in England and Wales AT a late hour and with much difficulty attention has been directed to the defects and abuses of Local Government and the unfair inci dence and rapid growth of Local Taxation. Even now the public seems hardly to realise the magnitude and dangerous consequences of these evils. Their importance may well excuse the attempt made in this paper to show how fatal would be any protracted neglect in dealing with the question of Local Government, to examine the defects of our present system, and to point out the mischief to which those defects give issue. In the second part of this Paper (866 page I hope to suggest the direction which it appears to me that a scheme for the reconstruction of Local Government should take.

Excerpt from English Local Government, From the Revolution to the Municipal Corporations Act: The Parish and the County It may be of interest in this connection to give here a short survey of the materials. The indispensable foundation for any study of local governing bodies is an investiga tion of their own official records. We have found the manuscript minutes of the Parish Vestries and the primitive accounts of the parish officers - sometimes dating back four and even five centuries - a storehouse of facts and figures, and deserving both of more careful preservation and of more extensive publication than they have yet been favoured with. The voluminous Order Books and Sessions Papers of the Courts of Quarter Sessions in the different counties constitute precious materials for the social historian, whilst the scantier records of Petty and Special Sessions, and the manuscript diaries of Justices of the Peace, yield even more intimate knowledge than the formal records of the larger bodies. The Rolls of those Manors which still continued to do Local Government work go far to elucidate the manuscript minutes of the innumerable Courts and assemblies of which the Municipal Corporations of the period were made up. We broke ground that was quite new to us when we explored the proceedings of the Courts of Sewers, the Street Commissioners, the Turnpike Trustees, and the Incorporated Guardians of the Poor. To go through these local archives, all of which were indispensable to our task, has involved many a sojourn in provincial centres from Newcastle to Plymouth, and journeys innumerable into the remotest corners of England and Wales.
